Flu Season

Everyone in the community is encouraged to get a flu shot before or during a flu season. Flu shots are available at the Health Department, or at your doctor’s office or local pharmacy. The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services specifically recommends:

Getting a flu shot

Wash hands frequently, preferably with soap and water or an approved hand sanitizer

Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue and then discard the tissue promptly

If you are sick with flu, stay home from work or school until you have been fever free for at least 24 hours
